Trump orders doors opened at event despite security concerns after two people faint
Two people fainted from apparent heat exhaustion during a town hall event held by former President Donald Trump in Oaks, Pennsylvania this week.
While Secret Service agents had closed the venue's doors for security reasons, Trump ordered them to be opened.
Trump: "Just open them"
According to Breitbart, the former president appeared alongside South Dakota Republican Gov. Kristi Noem and had been scheduled to answer questions from voters.
However, the building's temperature quickly rose and people began to faint, leading some audience members to demand that the air conditioner be turned on or doors opened up.
Two people fainted inside Trump's Town Hall venue due to the heat, so he asked the Secret Service to open the doors to allow fresh air. They said they couldn't for his own safety, but he asked them to do it anyway.

"For security reasons, they can’t, but you know what? I said, just open them because anybody comes through those doors, you know what's going to happen to them," Trump said following a brief discussion with Secret Service agents.
Noem: Property owners can't afford air conditioning in Biden economy
"I don't know whose building this is, but if they had air conditioning — do you see any air conditioning?" the Republican nominee added.
Noem, who said that one of the fainters was now "on her feet," jokingly said the property owners "probably can't afford" air conditioning in Joe Biden's economy.
"That's right, they don't want to give us air conditioning. It's too expensive. It costs too much," Trump remarked and then went on to ask, "Would anybody else like to faint?"
Footage of how Trump handled the circumstances led to positive reviews from some social media users, with one man stating, "I love this man."
Twitter user: Trump "always looks out for other people"
"Two people fainted inside Trump's Town Hall venue due to the heat, so he asked the Secret Service to open the doors to allow fresh air. They said they couldn't for his own safety, but he asked them to do it anyway," the man stressed.
Conservative writer Tom Young commented on what Trump had done as well, writing that the former president "always looks out for other people."
Meanwhile, another man praised Trump's decision to play music for the remainder of the event, jokingly referring to him as "DJ DJT."
One more individual commented, "After two people fainted at Trump's Oak town hall, he turned it into a concert-we're just listening to music and rocking out with the GOAT."
